The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Tubular Bells - 50th Anniversary Celebration (2022) [Hi-Res]

Mike Oldfield’s iconic “Tubular Bells” took the world by storm when it launched in 1973, and nearly 50 years later continues to sell over 100,000 albums per year, with a total of 17.5 million copies sold worldwide and 18 million streams. In honor of the 50th anniversary of this ground-breaking album, Cleopatra Records will be releasing a new studio album entitled Tubular Bells - 50th Anniversary Celebration.

Performed by the highly venerated Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with the London Contemporary Voices Choir, conducted by award-winning composer Simon Dobson with special guest MC actor Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon/Blackadder). Also includes additional selections from Oldfield's oeuvre that have never before been performed by a full orchestra.

"It's amazing to think that it's been 50 years since I started writing Tubular Bells, and I am touched that my music has reached so many people all over the world during that time" (Mike Oldfield)
